Cécile Beauvoir (born in 1967) is a French writer.
Cécile Beauvoir was born in 1967 in Clermont-Ferrand where she lives and writes. After teaching English for thirteen years, she published in 2002 her first collection of short stories, Envie d'amour, published by Minuit. Then will come Louise Lullin (novel, Arléa, 2003), The blouse (news, Arléa, 2004), With you (novel, Arléa, 2005), barefoot in the garden (news, the weather, 2007) and This old air of blues (short news, The weather, 2011).
"I went to the woods because I did not wish, when I came to die, to see that I had not lived. ("I went to the woods because I did not want, at the time of my death, to realize that I had not lived.") This sentence of Henry David Thoreau could alone summarize what pushed me to write, she said. A deep need for a return to oneself and a stripping away, a journey towards simplicity - the desire for a fully conscious life. Strongly influenced by the poetry of William Blake and John Keats, the news of Katherine Mansfield, it is important above all to make moments, emotions and sensations in all their intensity. "We are constantly being struck by the density of the universe returned by Cécile Beauvoir. By the swarming of details, all loaded with meaning, which have always seemed to have transfigured and poeticized every moment of an ordinary existence. As an ability to put beauty everywhere, and thus make the perishable unforgettable, put it in the order of permanence. (...) This poeticization of the world is in no way synonymous with any candor "J.C. Lebrun, L'Humanité. "We savor the clarity of writing, the sobriety, the great featherweight pen of the author. There is no emphasis here, no pretense, no hermetism. And skinning does not go the opposite of density. Alain Feutry, News News. Bibliography edit code edit code
